The Drifting Classroom Volume 7

Probably the maddest, most hysterical manga one can find outside of Japan. With each new volume I'm asking myself how Umezu could possibly top the hysterical tone and insane plotting in the next one, and with each new volume I answer myself "easily".
This time in our school stranded on post-apocalyptic earth: Evil mutant mushrooms! Evil mutant mushroom mutated school kids! Children praying to the bust of our hero's mother! A secret mushroom eating school kid cult praying to a bust of the crawling eye! The crawling eye! Mob psychology! Drool! No sentence without exclamation mark! The best double page spread of the series! Even more exclamation marks!

So, who's gonna publish Umezu's other horror and SF manga?
